Confirmed with Link: Tomas Plekanec Back with Habs (1-Year @ $2.25M + Bonuses - Could Go to $3.5M)

[MSLs absurd thighs]

Any penny over 2.5M is too much.

 

[SirClintonPortis]

Plekky won't be the 2nd center at all. 3rd or 4th at best.

An don't be surprised if Domi is called to play center, too.

Domi is seen as a winger by the team themselves. He'll be at C only sparingly. Julien never stopped using Pleks heavily.

 

[Forum93]

Awesome, can't wait to watch him play like a little grandma now.

 

[uiCk]

He'll get traded, again, at TDL. not the worst, and also expected this.

 

[NobleSix]

You just know he's playing on our second line lol

 

[The Great Weal]

2.25. That's fine, but he will be overplayed.

 

[tazsub3]

2.25 plus bonuses

 

[Redux91]

2.25. That's fine, but he will be overplayed.

Still wont reach the bonuses to make it 3.5 lol

we can only hope he produces JUST enough to get flipped again

 

[Talks to Goalposts]

This decision is fine enough considering the circumstances.

The scandal is that the man in charge of creating these circumstances still has decision making authority for a billion dollar organization and major social institution.

 

[TheBuriedHab]

lol playoffs bonus

 

[LeHab]

lol playoffs bonus

Could get traded at deadline again for a playoff bound team.

 

[Whitesnake]

So expensive for nothing. A guy that nobody wanted and if Chicago was indeed interested, let him go there. A easy 3M$ with easily reachable bonuses….stupid Bergie is back.

Go and get unmovable players in exhange for high picks or prospects instead of giving a stupid contract like that.

 

[justafan22]

It's fine. Not great not awful. Just don't play him higher than 3c

 

[tazsub3]

at that price, i sure take an asset that we can trade come deadline

 

[euhchepas]

lol playoffs bonus

if he get traded at the deadline he could get them

 

[Tyson]

Too much money. No issue with the base, it’s with the bonuses

 

[SquiddFX]

I would love to see the things he needs to do to get his bonuses.

-hit 1000 games
-Wear a turtleneck
-Hit a goalie in the chest
-Try a bank shot from the corner

 

[Redux91]

LOL rds is trashing the money and im maybe the number 2 plek hater on the board and even IM like "calm down..its 2.25 mill.." lol

 

[Habs]

mother of god, its just a big cycle of Pejorative Sluration. Can we get DD and Gionta back too?

 

[zx81]

This team is a joke.
He was freaking terrible last season so why why why oh freaking why we resigned him ?
How dumb are we ?

 

[MD thaivuN]

No one better to spread Blackholenitis to our young wingers

This is actually a very smart move that will ensure us a high 1st round pick next year (Pleks is really bad now), while preventing us to sign a overrated center to a multiyear contract that will take playing time from our young center prospect/players. Pleks knows what his role will be, and what the organization is trying to do.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

At least we'll be tanking hard.

Need to sell off the golden boys now so we can have many lottery draws for a big upcoming draft.

 

[ottawa]

Great value
